Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a country full of adventure. From wild elephants on the side of the road to palm tree swings by the ocean. This country is perfect for any traveller!

If you love culture head to Sigiriya, Kandy and the north of Sri Lanka. For beach lovers and surfers head to the South and Southwest.

Discover famous Buddhist sights in Kandy such as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the Golden Temple.

Planning a trip to Sri Lanka

Is Sri Lanka vegan-friendly? Yes! Sri Lanka is one of our favourite countries for vegan food. The cuisine is so hard to find outside of the country, which makes us miss it so much! The curries are incredible! Even on our journey from Negombo to Sigiriya, we managed to find an amazing dosa place serving vegan South Indian food!

Is Sri Lanka budget-friendly? Yes! Sri Lanka is very affordable. We haven’t written a budget guide for Sri Lanka, as it’s pretty easy to get around the country on any budget. But we have written a guide full of tips for travelling to Sri Lanka.
